Lake Sumter State College Small Cell Carcinoma Discussion
I’m working on a Nursing question and need guidance to help me study.
initial discussion post (minimum 350 words) Mr. Fidela has small cell carcinoma of the lung with persistent hyponatremia. His wife says to the nurse, “The doctor told me that my husband has ‘ectopic production’ of some hormone and ‘paraneoplastic syndrome’, but then her phone rang and she had to leave in a hurry. Please finish the explanation. What hormone? What do ectopic and paraneoplastic mean?” Explain the meaning of these pathophsyiological processes in layman’s terms, without using medical jargon..
